Many private clinics now use microsuction, and some offer electronic irrigation instead. Ask which method they use when you book, and read our guide to microsuction vs irrigation if you are weighing them up.

Before you book

What to expect, and what it costs

An appointment is usually quick and painless. Here's what normally happens, and roughly what you can expect to pay in Wigan and elsewhere in the UK.

Around half an hour

The clinician asks about your ears, looks inside with an otoscope, removes the wax and checks again at the end. The removal itself often takes just a few minutes per ear.

What happens at an appointment

Microsuction or irrigation

Microsuction lifts wax out with a fine suction tube under magnification. Irrigation uses a controlled flow of warm water. NICE lists both, and advises against old-style manual syringing.

How the two compare

Typically £45 to £100

A rough UK range for both ears in a clinic. Prices differ between clinics, some charge per ear, and home visits cost more. Ask what's included before you book.

Ear wax removal costs

Drops beforehand, if asked

Some clinics suggest softening the wax first: 2 or 3 drops of medical-grade olive oil, 3 or 4 times a day for 3 to 5 days. Skip the drops if your eardrum might be perforated.

How to use ear drops

See a GP or call NHS 111 rather than booking wax removal if you have sudden hearing loss, severe pain, discharge or bleeding from the ear, a high temperature, swelling, or something stuck in your ear.

Ask your surgery what is offered around Wigan.

If there is no NHS option, a private clinic is the usual alternative. Our guide to ear wax removal on the NHS explains who still qualifies and what to ask.
